inviting brother's on-again-off-again g/f and kids

My brother is obviously invited to my wedding.  He has a crazy (unhealthy in my opinion, but it's not my say...) relationship that is on-again-off-again.  they are engaged, then he's kicked out.  Then they are back together again, and then she's out...it's honestly a whirlwind.  I thought about just sending the invite to him with a plus one...but then how do i make sure he/they know that if they are on an on-again stage that her kids are invited.  Brother, plus one and family?  It's a more casual wedding so I could probably just tell my brother that her kids are invited if she comes but I don't want to cause issues by bringing up the fact that they might break up again (he's weird about it).

  • I would invite them all as if they are a couple. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • If they're "on" when the invites go out, address it to bro, gf and kids, and let him make the call whether or not to bring them. You know who she is; it would be rude to call her a plus one at this point, regardless of their history.

    If they do end up breaking up again, would he really be dating someone else so quickly that he'd want to bring them to a family wedding anyway, to warrant the open-ended invitation? Even then he'd probably just ask "can I bring Sally instead?"

  • If they're together the day you mail your invitations, then her name goes below his on the envelop.
  • Alrighty!  Thanks :) That's what I'll do (I may grit my teeth as I do it-IF they are together at that time- but I'll do it  lol)
